tags: sound title: Panning brief: This example demonstrates how to pan a sound effect according to a GO's(game object) position on the screen. author: FlexYourBrain

scripts: pan.script

Overview : A coin bounces around the screen and on collision detection we get the coins x position then normalize that value for use in the sound components pan property. As the API states "The pan on the sound-component. The valid range is from -1.0 to 1.0, representing -45 degrees left, to +45 degrees right." we can use this information along with our x value from our coin object and normalize it into the correct range.

The setup consists of a coin game object, three stone objects and walls for collision.

Coin : contains:

• A Sound component.
• A Collision component. With Type set to DYNAMIC and a Sphere Shape.
• A script used to set initial coin movement then set pan value and play a sound on collision.
• A sprite component with default animation set as coin

Stones : contains:

• A Collision component set to STATIC and 1 box Shape to match the sprite image.

Walls : contains:

• A Collision component set to STATIC and 4 box Shapes that make up the walls along the bounds of the game screen.
